Consider using a cutter knife to trim the plastic part surrounding the pins, right before it meets and extends underneath the metal housing - you'll get a more secure fit a and a slicker look.

Sounds cool will try it out in the weekend. Thank you

Edit: ...that's assuming the female connector is as deep as the ZS5 one which I'm using and on which this mod is based on (not my mod, stumbled upon it same pages back in this thread).

Recommend not to do it this way. I will make a photo to my silver plated 45deg. cable for ZS5. I patientely modify the connector to not to cut it completely off. But only to adjust the connertor to fit it directely to my ZS5. I will do the same to cable for my upcoming ZS6.
EDIT: Photo attached

I'm digging the new upgrade cable.

That cable looks amazing with the metallic green.

Looking forward to see what you modified.

Just did this to mine late last night. I can confirm that the housing is deep enough for the pins, and connection isn't any less secure. The only problem now is that it's much harder to verify proper polarity when plugging in the cable since you can't match the curved edges anymore. I may have to find some way to mark orientation.

I tried the cable on ZS5 v1.0, ES3, ZST and ZS3 all work good and look great see pics

Well, my zs6's finally arrived after a 2 month long wait and......they're not for me. Would anyone be interested in buying a kz zs5 (version1, gray) and a black zs6? I would include a non mic cable, a mic cable and 1 silver upgrade cable along with the 2 iems. I was thinking somewhere in the 50.00 ballpark for everything. Pm me if anyone is interested.

Hello guys, i bought the bgvp dm5, is it a step above the zs5?? Thanks

Interesting to see you're using foamies on all your KZ earphones. I only have the ZS5 and couldn't find a foam tip that felt comfortable. So I'd like to know what you're using. I just, as in I've just sat down after getting the mail, gotten my gearbest package with a pair of ZS6 and the KZ foam tips along with the now older white colored silver upgrade cable since I didn't know that there were other cable choices when I ordered a few weeks ago.

The new kz copper cable is nice. Just got mine. Already took off the useless wire.
